Night feeding
If my 4 month old falls asleep during a night feed eg 3am, should I stop feeding them at that point or give the whole bottle if they’re still sucking?
I’m just thinking do they need the full bottle? Will it help them sleep longer?

Babies tend to come off the teat when they’ve had enough, even during sleep
Similar to Sonia, even though my boys asleep whilst having a bottle he knows when he’s had enough and will pull away from the teat. I wouldn’t force him to have more just because he may of had a little bit. They tend to know when enough is enough and for them to be content x

I'm breastfeeding so not 100% sure if it's any different but my LO falls asleep on the boob regularly but he continues sucking until he chooses to stop. I'd assume that it's the same - your wee one will remove themselves from the bottle when they are done, even when sleeping.
